Hello Everyone!
My name is Amber Scharenbroch, and I just recently stepped into the Community Impact Director—Digital Equity role here at United Way of the Greater Chippewa Valley. I am very honored to be able to pursue my passions for philanthropy and serving others here at UWGCV. I truly take this role to heart as a way I can work towards building stronger Chippewa Valley communities hour by hour, step by step.
To tell you a little more about myself, I’m originally from Kimberly, WI, which is a village near Appleton. My entire extended family lives within a 20-mile radius, and we’re very close, so I enjoy returning home to visit. I moved to Eau Claire about three years ago to attend college at UW-Eau Claire. My time as a student was a whirlwind of excitement, growth, and discovery. Looking back, I invested 3x more time into UWEC and Eau Claire communities than I did in classes themselves. I owe a lot of professional development and life lessons to my videography, volunteer coordination, project management, collaboration and event planning roles within UWEC’s Jazz Studies Area and Eau Claire Jazz, Inc. I fell in love with the area and its people so much that I decided to stick around after graduating!!!
I spend lots of time outside and on adventures. Kenny (my boyfriend) and I start every day on our porch with coffee and book in hand — which fuels our reading and visiting the library addiction. We are always looking for recommendations, so if you have any, send them our way! I also really enjoy hiking, disc golfing and downhill skiing with friends and family. A day spent in the great outdoors with those I love is a day spent well. I believe in being a lifelong learner and hope to always invest in new hobbies, ideas and ways to make myself a better neighbor to those around me.
